Very clean campground. Sharon was very helpful even though we were there for just a day ride. Trails out of camp are interesting. They had had a lot of rain so there were muddy spots but overall very nice riding. They are located on the south side of the Big South Fork Recreation riding so there's lots of riding.

Would like to see recycling cans available. I brought home 4 bags of recycling, (there were only 2 of us in our trailer) think if you had them; how much less you would have to put in the waste stream. Bruce and Sharon were great hosts.

Campground was fantastic. Bruce and Sharon do everything to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Trails were great but were not marked very well.

We love Zenith horsecamp and the surrounding horse trails! We've camped at Zenith since 2005 and always want to come back, it's permanent! Sharon & Bruce are excellent hosts and the facilities are very nice, options of stalls, pens or tie outs for the horses, shady and roomy campsites for the riders with clean bathhouse facilities. The trails at Big South Fork are the best anywhere. We'd recommend Zenith to every horse camper, come once and you'll certainly be back!

ZENITH CAMPGROUNDS IS MY FAVORITE CAMPGROUND AROUND THIS TN/KY AREA. THE CAMPGROUND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND THE OWNERS ARE THE NICEST AND MOST HELPFUL I HAVE EVER MET. THE USE OF ALL THE FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL! FULL KITCHEN ETC..... THE TRAILS ARE FOR BOTH BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED RIDERS. YOU CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. NO ONE WILL LEAVE ZENITH CAMPGROUND UNHAPPLY!!!

Camped in BSFNRRA for 18 yrs before I found Zenith in 2004. Never stayed at another camp in BSF since then. Have hosted two week-long rides at this campground. It accommodates groups of up to 80 WELL. Facilities are more than adequate and safe for people and their animals. Owners are accommodating of guests and want everyone to have a good time. On a 1-5 scale, trails near this camp range from 1.5 to 4.5 difficulty. Something for everyone at Zenith Stables

Really nice campground. Very well maintained. Very gracious owners / hosts. Made us feel very welcome. Easy ride to get to the old O&W rail bed in the gorge along North White Oak creek. In my opinion this is the best trail in Big South Fork. You ride along side the beautiful creek for miles with majestic rock faces on both sides. The trail, being an old railroad bed, is level and great for gaiting. Not that you want to go to fast though, the scenery is just too nice to rush through.

Really nice campground, nice spacious lots. Bruce and Sharon are very accomdating, just really nice people. We stayed for the week and so Bruce went over the different trails and areas to "see" with us. It was very hot and in areas the deer flys and small horseflys were terrible, so we would get out and ride early mornings when more tollerable. Had a great time. Plan to go back again.

Nice campground. Had trouble with the locals on dirt bikes and ATV's. Tried to spook our horses intentionally!! Don't think I'll be back there to ride.

The campground is well kept and the most accomodating hosts you could ask for. We were there with a very large group and the owners tried to do everything to make our stay special....IT WAS.

This is my favorite place to camp in Tennessee. I love this campground. I have been there many times and can only say great things about this camp. The owners are lovely people and the trails are great. There is something there for everyone. The barns are nice and clean and the sites are easy to park in. The showers are immaculate and it's just a great place to be.

We have been to BSF many times but had never stayed at Zenith. Campground and stalls are great. The O and W trail is very senic plus crossing the bridge was fun. Bruce and Sharon were great hosts.

Great place and even greater people, we had some of our group get lost and it was late at night, we got them on the cell and the owners hooked to a stock trailer and went out to get them. They had a couple of horses in trouble and the trailer may have save a horse. The owners didn't even ask for compensation!! They said they stay up and check to make sure everyone gets back to camp ok. Great people We will be back. Trails are great of course.

Hospitality is what this campground is all about...you could not ask for more accommadating people. Camped for a week and felt like old friends...Worse part of whole week was it rained everyday not normal for the area, but our border collie who was with us was petrified with the storms, she escaped out of her kennel and jumped thru the trailer window and ran to a nearby neighbors house who let her in because she was opening their door. They called us on the trail and brought her back to us at the campground. Just goes to show they even have WONDERUL neighbors!!!! Best people in the world. Cannot begin to tell you how thankful we were...Give this campground a try you won't be disappointed.

Rode at Zenith in spring. The trails were great, and unknown to a lot of folks, one of the most awesome sites in Big South fork can be reached from this camp. It is the Eye of the Needle. When we went to it, I was overwhelmed. The campground is very nice and always clean. Camp hosts don't get any better than Bruce, Sharon, and Michelle. They are there for anything you need. Went in the spring for a week and again in September for a long weekend. Great riding!
